★★★★★ 5.0 Brenda Carrino · Jan 2026

Chile Loco is my favorite all-time Mexican restaurant! I am a lover of Mexican food and this is by far the best Mexican restaurant I have ever dined at. It is family owned and operated and when you dine at this Restaurant, you feel like part of their family. As I mentioned above, their food is the best I have ever eaten across the United States. Their fresh squeezed Margaritas are out of this world! I have to discipline myself to only drink one… They are that good! The mole sauce is out of this world… By far the best I have ever had! Overall… I absolutely love this restaurant, and we dine there with all of our out-of-town guest and family when they come to visit. Loved by all!

We have been customers for 6 years and this is probably our favorite restaurant in Cashiers. IF you like a FRESH Margarita with your food you would be hard pressed to experience a better one. Hand squeezed lime and none of that pre mixed crap in a bottle!! Amazing cocktail. The food is Always great and my wife and I frequent Chili Loco at least once a week. The quality of the food is outstanding. . Mexican food can often be lumped into one “bucket, more or less, and Chile breaks that mold with the quality of their ingredients and their overall approach to their truly authentic menu. Even the texture and taste of their chicken is Far superior to Any other Mexican restaurant (be it Atlanta or beyond) Everything is SO fresh and the environment is tremendously inviting.

A family favorite for great Mexican food. Guacamole and chips are fresh. Tortilla soup is consistently delicious. Enchiladas are perfectly prepared with just the right amount of spicy! On the recommendation of family, I tried the ribeye chimichanga for the first time and will continue to order that for the foreseeable future. Don’t miss this great local restaurant.

By far the best Mexican food I have ever had!! And, I’ve been to Mexico , and I’m from NYC where Mexican restaurants is everywhere. Here I got a real home made cooking, I was obsessed with their Mexican style tacos. Staying for over a week at the hotel above, this place was saving me after I had a surgery and needed takeouts daily. Grill chicken, and very tasty been ( unlike the other review) another lunch favorite , I was so pleased!! Thank you so much for your delicious food and your great service.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Christina · May 2023

Really enjoyed this place! Would have loved it more if the chips and salsa were better. I had the fish tacos and my husband had the steak! Both were really delicious. The steak was super yummy. I also tried the modelo mango Chile for the first time and it was tasty! I also like fruity and sour beers, so if that is your taste pallet I recommend!!
